Relient K Tickets - The Essence of Christian Punk Rock

As the decades passed, Christianity was hitting more and more of the music industry in droves, for sure. Relient K was no exception, filling in the niche that was rather empty for that genre: punk rock! This was a band formed in Canton, Ohioh, in 1998, featuring the talents of vocalist/guitarist/pianist Matt Thiessen, guitarist Matthew Hoopes, bass guitarist Brian Pittman, and drummer David Douglas. A truly powerful band with some excellent sounds to them. Their self-titled debut was released in 2000 to begin the age that was Relient K.

Relient K Tickets - The Music of Relient K

August of 2001 was the year of their second release, an album by the name of The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek, and it did well enough to inspire yet a third album -- Two Lefts Don't Make a Right... But Three Do. Clever titles, yes. Their defining album, though, was the fourth: MMHMM, and it featured two crossover hits to make Relient K not just any other Christian band: 'Be My Escape,' and 'Who I Am Hates Who I've Been.' To this day, Relient K still pulls in the hits and loves doing it in a big way.

This made Christian music quite fun -- not that the music wasn't fun in the first place. There was something cheeky and cute about punk rock, and when you were to put it together with Christianity, that was the ticket to win a lot of young hearts to Christ. Relient K did that, and then some.
